New Release: Vanished by Carter Quinn

You know what they say about house guests who stay too long? Henry Cooley and company are kind of like that. Vanished was originally a 27,000 word standalone novella designed to give my Dad a chance to read my writing. Almost two years later, it’s turned into a 97,000 word romantic suspense trilogy. I’ve learned a lot writing these three books. For example, many more readers than I suspected are unwilling to step out of their HEA-requiring comfort zones. To my great pleasure, plenty of readers have been willing to step off that cliffhanger wall with me.

For those who took the risk, I hope Vanished 3 will be a satisfactory conclusion to the saga. Even thought about eight different cliffhangers popped into my head as I wrote the third book, I promise I didn’t end it with one. I couldn’t do that to my readers a third time in the same series. And I couldn’t do it to Henry either. He deserves an answer to what happened to Tom. He deserves a chance to be happy again. And, frankly, after two years, I’m ready to meet and write about another couple.

The Vanished trilogy took me on a fantastic trip for almost two years. I hope the ride it takes you on is just as fabulous. As always, I’d love to hear what you think.
